the obama administration put itself in this position. any kind of military action in syria makes absolutely no sense. what do we do? we lob a few missiles over there to create a symbol to say you must not do what we tell you to do. take out chemical weapons storage. you don't launch a war on chemical weapons, you launch a war on regimes, people. that means a greater escalation. this helps no one. it's reflective in the obama administration's lack of action for two years, but the fact that 650% of the american people do not want to see action in syria. however, because the obama administration created this red line, because they created this false scenario that if you launch this, we must act, our credibility is at stake. nations like north korea is watching. obama through running his mouth has created a situation now where we must go to war. >> donna, what do you think? >> well, mr. assad, if these allegations are true in what secretary kerry pointed out yesterday and giving us a little bit of an update that we'll get from the intelligen
